Hi,

Vendor lock-in is an underrated problem, IMHO. In particular for small
companies. However, large companies (and some publishing houses might
get into that region but probably only few) are less affected: they pay
quite some amount for the licenses anyway and they are a major customer.
So they can ask for features, prolonged support as they can communicate
on equal terms (Augenhöhe). So yes, there is a strong dependency but in
both directions.
(At least that is the case for Windows/Skype/Office software in some
larger companies. And I guess both the company size and the market is
smaller in music publishing but the issue is comparable.)

Best,
Joram
